{"title":"Lower urinary tract symptoms in late pregnancy: A cross-sectional study and narrative review","authors":"Leila Pourali , Mahdieh Mottaghi , Zahra Baghal Safa , Hassan Mehrad-Majd , Nona Sabeti , Atiyeh Vatanchi","doi":"10.1016/j.ejogrb.2025.114743","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.ejogrb.2025.114743","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Objective</h3><div>To evaluate the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and their effect on quality of life (QoL) among women in the third trimester of pregnancy.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women at 28–41 weeks of gestation. The online Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms questionnaire was used to assess LUTS. Additionally, a literature review was conducted to identify the prevalence range of LUTS in late pregnancy.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Data from 334 participants, with a mean age of 28.9 ± 6.4 years and a median gestational age of 36 weeks (IQR: 33-39) were analyzed. Among storage symptoms, nocturia was the most frequently reported symptom, affecting 198 women (59.3 %), followed by urinary frequency in 122 (36.5 %), urgency in 68 (20.4 %), and bladder pain in 52 (15.6 %). Regarding incontinence symptoms, 47 women (14.1 %) reported stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Nocturia exhibited the greatest severity and the most significant negative impact on QoL. Maternal age greater than 35 years and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> were significantly associated with the development of SUI (P = 0.02 and P = 0.03, respectively). Descriptive analysis of 23 studies revealed prevalence ranges of LUTS in late pregnancy as follows: nocturia (6.9 % to 97.4 %), urinary frequency (22.9 % to 80.9 %), urgency (2.2 % to 83.4 %), and SUI (5.8 % to 72.9 %).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>LUTS are prevalent during late pregnancy and adversely impact QoL. We recommend routine assessment and management of LUTS through lifestyle modifications to enhance QoL among pregnant women.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11975,"journal":{"name":"European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 114743"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145307267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
